All of us have in our veins the exact
same percentage of salt in our blood
that exists in the ocean, and, therefore,
we have salt in our blood, in our sweat,
in our tears. We are tied to the ocean.
And when we go back to the sea - whether
it is to sail or to watch it - we are going
back from whence we came.

This quote from J.F. Kennedy is a reminder
and a caution that we share our fate with the
health of our indifferent mother - the Ocean.

CultCult - audio illumination from the Ocean
Inverts our typical visual relationship with the
sea and asks us instead to listen to a world of
micro-sounds produced by countless small
Crustacea who’s hard exoskeletons generate
a constant cacophony of percussive activity.

Audio illumibnation.

Recorded in the Fishermans harbour near Villa Nova
Milfontes the underwater soundscape in this installation
forms a source of audio illumination that ‘shines’
down on captive ‘specimens’ who may have been part of
the Great Pacific Gyre - our species toxic contribution to
the Global Ocean.
